Our 2016 Civic touring is getting the "fix" next Tuesday. The oil level is notably above the top marker and my wife drives almost no short trips and rarely warms up car except for a minite or 2. I'm not overly concerned, it's just a car and I can trade or sell if I'm worried about long term...

If you know Honda the sport model means mid cycle extra value model. That is all it means.

Clearly there is an issue with Civic 1.5T too. Honda made changes to the 2019 touring dropping mileage by 19% city and 11% hwy. They would have made no such changes without a problem. They will offer the "fix" on 2016/17 eventually. I've noticed the oil level being high on my wifes car but...

Wow, major drop in mileage from my wife's 2016 Touring to the 2019 Touring. Sure bigger wheels and more insulation would be part of it but not all. In L/100KM.....2016 city 7.4/ 2019 8.8, hwy 2016 5.6/2019 6.2. 1.4 L/100KM (19% worse!) extra in town is massive drop and hwy is almost 11%...

it's likely the reason they couldn't switch fully to the new HU software like the Accord and Insight was due to not being able to get the Swindon, Indiana and Alliston factory to upgrade in the same model year but it also could be to maintain an extra value add for Accord and Insight. My wifes...

The issue I have is the Si in Canada is priced $1000 over the touring!! In the US it's priced $2700 below the Touring YET our Touring in the north is only priced $900 more than yours. (forgetting frt etc.) LED headlights, navigation and wireless charging simply don't justify the price...

If you take out the head unit niggles and rear deck rattles, often typical of any new ground up vehicle I think Honda's quality is till top knotch. My son got our 2007 Civic with 350,000KM on it, I'm driving a 2010 Civic with 170,000KM and my wife drives the new 2016 Civic touring. An example...

Honda is clearly playing with the numbers so there is no way of telling actual HP until Civic sport, CR-V and Si are put on a dyno. Hondata rating the 174/162 1.5T non-sport at 190/190 (twice, once with CVT, once with manual) clearly shows how underated they are saying it is. The CR-V intro with...

With Hondata running dyno's on the 1.5T (non-sport) and getting 190/190 I would hope these ratings are low also. Either that or more likely they lowered them to 174/162 because the si is basically the same output with only slight turbo tweak. Honda is getting a bit lame putting this motor in...

Here is a metalic grey Si pulling 1G into a right corner at Alliston. Or it's a Pilot. :)

I fill up at same station every time which has about 10-12 pumps. Once I picked a different pump than usual and I couldn't stop the overflow from happening. There was no topping off the tank. It overflowed 3 times, the first being so aggressive it ran down side of car, the next 2 at a very...

Got the Honda all season matts with car in Sept when picking up car. The coverage especially in the driver's footwear is terrible. Broke down and got the weathertech front set only in black. Just installed today. The fit and coverage is excellent and the quality is good. The price not so...

Tires are 215/55R16. I actually asked for 205's but they misheard and put 215's on which is the proper down size anyway. Wanted to go a little narrower but won't make much difference. This is an fairly expensive investment at around $1300 all in. Pricing in Canada is way higher than US with...

My wife commutes 150KM per day. We tried Good Year Nordic and Altimax then settled on the Xice3's and never looked back. The Alimax was best value and a good snow tire but commuting with them they wore out fast. The Michelins are quieter, fuel economy is pertty much same as all season. They...

It's a good, well written summary of the 16 Civic. Most people on this forum have watched or read numerous reviews this past year. It's been reviewed to death already. In fact, since most here already own the 10th gen Civic they have discussed in detail every system and all driving dynamics...

I've found it depends on the style of music and the degree of bass mixed and mastered into it. With classic rock you arn't going to notice a huge difference but put on something more modern and it becomes quite apparent. Put on the hip hop or modern pop stations and it's quite apparent, you...

The head unit volume is for the front seat passenger obviously. Spend some time riding shotgun on mildly bumpy streets and you'll quickly realize how this slider is a poor design. I found myself laughing as I tried to lower the volume as my finger bounced around attempting to hit the right...

With the forecast for snow today and tomorrow in southern Ontario I put the new snow tires/wheels on this morning just in time. Went 16" Momo Win 2 with Michelin X-ice 3. Aluminum instead of steel for first time ever. Pretty good look for a cheaper Canadian Tire wheel. I have these tires on...

Remember when the purpose of a bumper was to take and absorb low speed bumps without damage. Now a scratch costs $100's. Sad.

Drove down hwy 400 to 401 and through Toronto in medium volume traffic and spent 95% of the time not touching gas or brake. Kept the lane keeping assist on about 75% of the time. With a steady but relaxed grip on the steering wheel you can let it pretty much steer without the warning...
